Update from the Board of Directors

Issue 10: 25/11/2022 Strategic Objective:

The Board of FIS meets every third Monday of the month (term time only). We are fully committed to demonstrating transparency and aligned with this, we will be continuing to share an update with you here monthly.

Last Monday’s Board meeting focused on a presentation by our exam and orientation team on our university admissions. FIS has six dedicated employees who support our students in their choice and application process. The presentation was an opportunity to celebrate the quality and diversity of our students’ university pathways, and also to educate the Board on the current changes and challenges happening in the University landscape in the UK, France, North America and the rest of the world. A few conclusions were:

It was noted that our orientation team would continue to work with our Communications team to inform the community even prior to high school, help share the success stories of our students, and initiate a reflection on the growing number of applications per student that does not contribute to better outcomes, while putting undue pressure on students themselves and the resources of the school.

Parents have access to a complete set of data on our admissions results on our website [https://orientation.www.fis.edu.hk/statistiques/]
